This was a perfect place for our weekend away. My fiancé and I came up to NH for an adventurous, fall foliage weekend. This house was charming, unique, clean, and just the right size for the two of us. The Chick’s Corner Schoolhouse will forever be a special place to us since it is where we stayed the weekend we got ENGAGED!!! Brendan was a great host and very quick to respond to my messages.

Unique stay in an old one room school house. Very quiet area, close to hiking trails. The house itself was very clean, lots of windows to take in the view, the water in the shower was nice and hot, well-equipped kitchen. The king bed was especially comfortable! Sandwich is a charming town just a few miles away. Really lovely getaway, I wish we could have stayed there longer.

Cute and Cozy

My family and I enjoyed our stay in the school house. The area was peaceful, and the house itself was neat. The bed was comfy and the place was clean. Check in and out was simple with great communication from the host. They even gave guest passes for the local area if we wanted to venture out into the town. I would stay here again if traveling through the area.

Unique Stay for Two

Sandwich is a special town and the Chicks Corner School is a unique space. Perfect for my husband and I. Comfortable bed, hot showers, fluffy towels. It was wonderful. We travel a lot and have slept in all types of spaces - from vintage to luxury - and this one has created a great memory. Thank you!

Short but delightful stay

We stayed 2 nights and it was absolutely adorable. Comfy and cozy. Super quiet, very beautiful area. We would definitely like to go back and stay longer. Check-in was smooth, the door is a tiny bit tricky to get into, but the host did tell us that. Once we got the hang of it, it was easy! Stay, you wont regret it!

About the host

Hosted by BRENDAN F TOMPKINS

Host profile image
I'm the 4th generation of Tompkins' at Chick's Corner. My great grandfather, Maj. General William F. Tompkins, purchased the property with his wife. "Daddybill" and "Mammybill" as they were known, spent thier summers at the property. They were good friends with Ike and Mamie Eisenhower - having been classmates at West Point (class of '15 - "the class the stars fell upon") and the ex president and his wife visited a time or two.

What makes this property unique

This is the schoolhouse adjacent to the main property at Chick's corner. It is one of the few remaining one room schoolhouses in the area.
